The major partial solar eclipse in Marbella took place on Wednesday, August 12, 2026.
Because Marbella was located south of the path of totality (which crossed northern Spain), the city experienced a dramatic partial solar eclipse with roughly 94.5% of the sun covered by the moon at its peak.
If you are sad to have missed it, you are in luck. This year’s event was merely a “preview” for what is coming next year. On August 2, 2027, a rare Total Solar Eclipse will pass directly over southern Spain. Unlike this year, Marbella will plunge into 100% complete totality during the middle of the morning.
Would you like details on the exact times and best viewing locations in Marbella for the 2027 Total Eclipse? It will take place in the midmorning, so
since the sun will be high in the sky, you do not need to worry about buildings blocking the horizon. The best spots are open areas with panoramic views.
